Especial Correspondence of the Aloya. GAzETTRl
WASHINGTON. D. c.. August 4, 1887.


WASHINGTON. d. c., August 4, 1887.
Senator Riddleberger is still in the city,
and will remain here, he says, three or four
days longer. In short talk with the GA
ZETrE's correspondent this morning, he said
he believed the democratic convention Of
his State, now in session at Roanoke, would
do him the honor of 70 endorsing his bill for
the settlement Of the Virginia debt He
also said that though he intended 10 fight
Malone, and was here fer the purpose Of
getting documentary evidence 10 sustain
him in that fight. he would do SO rs re
publican and within the republican lines.
When told that Malone would have q ma
iority of the party, and would whip the
others in, he replied that ha was by no
means sure that Malone would have ma.
jority Of the republican party in Virginia to
support him. Continuing, he said he was
getting little federal patronage.a the
mugwump part of it. and in the ratio of
about three democrats to one republican.
The late prevailing heat having moder-
ated considerably, the President came into
town to-day, and held cabinet meeting at
the White House. Among the things in
formally talked about was the close election
in Kentucky, for which various and divers
reasons other than the true one were as
signed.
Some of the Reform League of Bal,i-
more recently met ia this city and pre.
pared formal complaint TO he made to the
President against some of the democratic

CoNJURING sroNE.-A queer case came up
before justice Freeman yesterday. Jane Blauch
has husband who has foudncss for staying
away from home, and Jane has been greatly wor-
ried about it. Some time ago, while narrating
her troubles to one Martha Montague, late of Co
lumbus, Martha said her husband had a peculiar
stone that had for its charm the power of bring.
ing back husbands, and in fact of performing
number of miraculous things. Negroes believe in
copjuring bags rabbit feet, &c and Jane said she
wanted piece of the stone, matter what it
cost. Martha saw her husband Tom, and after
some persuasion. they agreed to let Jane have
piece of it for 50. Jane paid the money and wait
ed for the wonderful stone which was so slow in
getting into her hands that she sued out warrants
for both Tom and Martha, and they appeared be-
fore Justice Freeman yesterday with tho stone
they intended giving Jane. Tho court compelled
Tom to refund the money. The stone is piece
of magnetic iron ore. and the trial developed the
fact that it is generally kept in drug stores, and
sold at the rate of 20 cents pound. Negroes
purchase it because they believe that it will con

SUGAR Is one of tie few things every cent

The tariff on it is purely and simply reve-
nue. tariff, and about one fifth Of the entire
revenue of the country is derived from it.
But for all this, the duty on sugar is the
only one TO the removal of which the pro
tectionists will consent. They favor the
removal of the sugar tax because sugar is
Southern product, and because the removal
of that tax will necessita,e the continuation

resented me-" He then dictated letter,
in which he reiterated his former statements
that it was impossible for him to live in Jail.
He denies having offered to testify in behalf
! of the State, and says there was nothing
wrong with the hospital management. He
knows nothing that would connect NJ. G..
Mcdonald with any sort of e crime. He is
anxious to make settlement of his a1airs
so as to go back to Chicago, but he cannot
consent to go to the Jail or penitentiary.
On the train McGarigle gave an account OF
his experience since he left Sarnia. After
driving to Wyoming and taking the train
for London, as has been reported. he went
to Hamilton and from there to Niagara
Falls, the Canada side, Of course. From
Dnnnvile, changing to the Grand Trunk at
Port Colborne. He was not, he says, in ST.
Catharines mt all Tuesday, hut passed
through there on his way to the falls. Nc
Garigle, when told about the Baxter case
against him said he was not worried about
that. He would get the officials of the pro-
vince OF Ontario to give Montreal notice
that she will have to prove the alleged per-
jury of defamation of character before he
would 60 there. He is not afraid that any
charge offorgery can be trumped against him.
McGarigle is very anxious for the arrival of
the Blake, as he has valuable baggage on
that vessel. His pockets are filled with
money and he evidently has interests
of money character in the arrival
of the Blake. McGarigle. it may be
fatty slated, is in the care and keep
ing of Frederick st. John, brother Of
the doctor. This not to say that he is at
the st. John mansion, which is the finest in
st. Cstharines, nor can the writer, without
breaking faith with McGarigle, say what
residence he has chosen. One of the most
marvellous features of the case is the won.
derful risk DR.. ST. John has taken to aid
McGarisle to escape. When asked what
he thought of DR.. st. Johns chances Of
going to the penitentiary McGarigle
broke down like child. He would
not even speak. Unless the detectives get
too close to McGarigle he will remain here
for the present and rest, and, ii possible,
open negotiations with States Attorney
Grnnell for his return. For this he is very
anxious. He says he does not want to
bring his wife and children away from Chi.
cago, but that he cannot live without them
very long. He is very much opposed
to talking about the Cook county thieves.
He appears to be in good health. but
his nerves have been worked 10 a
high tension and he says he must have
rest or he cannot survive long. One of the
strangest things about him is that he has
shaved his face, leaving the mustache and
side whiskers, but cutting off the goatee

This dispatch shows the beauties OF the pro
tectiye tariff 10 striking light. The rich,
who have money and leisure to travel
abroad, are enabled 10y the tariff to pay
their travelling expenses out of the savings
they effect in the purchase of year or

and L OF only save nothing in The purchase
of their clothing, but, by the tariff, are

understanding, the unequal, unjust and dis.
eliminating tariff is maintained by the votes
of poor people,-those upon when Its
ouerous burden bears most heavily.
